Some
web pages contain a 'form' which you can fill in and submit
to a web site. Here is a simple example:
Enter
information in the form below and click 'Send this'
Feel free to say anything you like because it will all be
completely ignored.
(If you really want to comment on our web site, then, why
not sign our guest book. It will not be ignored!)
To use forms effectively, you really need access to
CGI on your web server. The form sends information to a
cgi program, which then mails the information or uses it
to construct a new web page. You will often see forms used
in guest books, surveys,
email pages and
in on line shopping web sites.
